Course details
Every year, ProActive Training train over 1000 undergraduate students to obtain an ITEC accredited Extended Level 3 Diploma in Sports Massage.
This course offers an ITEC accredited Extended Level 3 Diploma in Sports Massage. It is widely recognised as a robust and very well-respected qualification which arms students with the necessary skills to work in a professional sporting arena or in private practice from the moment they qualify.
Students who have qualified through ProActive Training have gone on to pursue careers on a sporting platform including positions with Arsenal FC, Charlton Athletic FC, Aston Villa FC, Middlesbrough FC, USA Track and Field, Middlesbrough FC, Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Association, London Triathlon, Harlequins RFC and many more.
The qualification also enables students to work in private practice as a Sports Massage Therapist with up to £1million insurance and many of our students have gone on to start their own practice and have grown very successful businesses.
The qualification is internationally recognised allowing students the freedom to work in countries across the globe including Australia, South Africa, New Zealand and many more.
All courses are taught by practising Physios or Osteopaths, all of whom are also qualified Sports Massage Therapists with years of industry experience. This level of tuition and expertise is unmatched by other training providers and our 98% first-time pass rate is testament to this high calibre of teaching.
As the course is tailored to students on a related degree, we aim to keep the tuition as hands-on as possible. We go beyond the remit of the Level 3 syllabus covering over 35 sporting injuries, including the following areas:
- All massage techniques, including deep friction
- Muscle Energy Techniques (MET’s)
- Joint mobilisation techniques
- Myofascial release techniques
- PNF stretching
- Soft Tissue Release (STR)
- Orthopaedic testing
- Trigger pointing/Neuromuscular techniques
- Passive stretching
- Extensive rehabilitation and exercise prescription
- Pre and post event massage
We will schedule your Sports Massage assessment 4 weeks after the course. We discuss the requirements for the exam in detail over the duration of the course and have a very high first-time pass rate of 98%.
This course is adopting a blended learning format which includes students having full access to a bespoke online learning package and then 3 days of hands-on, in-house teaching, during which we will cover all practical techniques. The bespoke online learning package includes over 20 hours combined content with every single technique and treatment shown in video format, as well as lectures. As the content is all pre-recorded, this is a fantastic resource to refer back to years down the line.
The course fee is £470 which includes extensive course notes and access to a catalogue of technique videos.
